| The Fourteen Balls Toy Co.
began in June 1986 and has been
making automata ever since. The company consists of Paul Spooner who designs the majority of the automata , Matt Smith who co designs and produces all the models and Sarah Smith ( Matt's wife ) who has been doing the bulk of the painting for the past few years . We originally started to produce automata together to supply The Cabaret Mechanical Theatre which had just moved to Covent garden in London and we are still producing two or three new designs a year . A list of the automata we have made is on the next two pages and from there you can link onto a detailed description with photographs of each of the models . The Models are listed in chronological order and provide a history in themselves . NB. I try to be as accurate as I can with numbers but The numbers of each model produced may need updating in some cases .
Fourteen Balls automata are in exhibitions all over the world and thirty of the models are also available as a travelling exhibition ( more info on the show page ) details of where and when they can be seen are on the main page . The Fourteen Balls travelling show will be at the space station in Iowa from February 2006 for three months.
